Unless he killed in areas outside London that are as yet unknown, the Ripper confined his crimes to London with the majority in the area of Whitechapel. Who the first victim was is a matter hotly debated.

In the back alleys.
He got away with murder. That't it.
For many years it was believed the Mary Kelly's murder on November 9, 1888, was Jack The Ripper's last murder. This simply is not true. A prostitute named Francis Coles was murdered in Whitechapel in 1891 who is now also thought to be killed by JTR. It is also most likely that Mary Ann 'Polly' Nichols was not the Ripper's first victim. At the very least Martha Tabram, who was found murdered several weeks before Nichols, was the Ripper's also. If this is true than Kelly would have been the Ripper's sixth victim, not the fifth.
The Yorkshire Ripper is a British serial killer named Peter Sutcliffe. He was convicted of the murder of 13 women and the attempted murder of seven more. He said that the voice of God told him to kill them.
Jack the Ripper was never caught because forensics and police detection was not advanced enough to apprehend a criminal such as the Ripper. He was also very lucky.
Although for over a century it was believed that the Ripper murders began with the death of Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols on August 31 1888. It is more likely that Martha Tabram, killed on August 6, 1888, was murdered by the same killer as Nichols. Some believe that an even earlier murder may have been by the Ripper. Emily Smith was attacked in the spring of 1888 but lived long enough to tell family that she was attacked by at least 3 men. I doubt Smith's death was a Ripper killing.
Answer Jack the Ripper is a nickname for a notorious serial killer who murdered at least five women in London, England in 1888.
There are differing opinions as to whom the Ripper's first victim was. Many believe that his first victim was Mary Ann (Polly) Nichols. It is more than likely his first murder was Martha Tabram. Tabram, a working prostitute in London's Whitechapel district, was found murdered on August 6, 1888, several weeks before Nichols. If this is the case, which I believe it is, then the body was discovered in the early morning hours, 3:30 a.m., in George Yard Buildings, Whitechapel.
